The North teams
For the first time ever, an Ecuadorian is promoted to play for a spot in the LLA. Geekside Esports will fight against Colombian team Zeu5 Bogotá, Mexican team Estral Esports, and Costa Rican team OG Esports. Geekside Esports has consistently shown effort and good plays throughout their time in the Volcano Discover League. In the end, they earned 9850 points, pushing them to the top of the ladder.
Zeu5 Bogotá is a four-time Colombian champion filled with experienced players. Similar to this team, Estral Esports also has skilled players, many of which have played in the LLA as well. Lastly, OG Esports carry a 32-0 record, proving their worthiness as a rival to the rest of the North teams.
The South teams
There are only three teams from the south of Latin America that will compete for a position in the LLA. Undead Gaming from Argentina has only competed in Argentina’s pro league Flow Master League. Since December 2019, Undead has not scored below third place. Chile’s Católica Esports has an aggressive playstyle, which allowed them to sweep 2018 Worlds participant Kaos Latin Gamers 3-0. Peru’s G-Pride also ended The Claro Guardians League Regionals 3-0.
